Description
These notes briefly cover the history and cultural milieu of the Near East for the four centuries from Malachi and Nehemiah to the opening of the New Testament. It will be useful to have that background of what had happened to the Jewish people and their neighbours over those four centuries to understand the situation that the gospels and other New Testament writings describe.
We will also briefly note the various Jewish sects that had developed by Jesus’ time and what they believed and emphasised.
We shall also take an overview of what the Messianic expectations were when Jesus was born.
